John Williams might have composed the most iconic themes for the Star Wars universe, but that doesn’t mean he wants to see any of the films.

The 84-year-old composer has been instrumental in helping to establish the popularity of Star Wars, creating such iconic tracks as the main theme and Darth Vader’s The Imperial March, but Williams has now dropped a bombshell to shake fans worldwide.

He’s never seen any of the films.

Speaking to The Mirror, Williams said: ‘I let it go. I have not looked at the Star Wars films and that’s absolutely true.

‘When I’m finished with a film, I’ve been living with it, we’ve been dubbing it, recording to it, and so on. You walk out of the studio and, “Ah, it’s finished.”

‘Now I don’t have an impulse to go to the theatre and look at it. Maybe some people find that weird, or listen to recordings of my music very, very rarely.’

He added: ‘I’m not particularly proud of that, I have to say, but it’s also part of the fact that I finished Star Wars now and I’m already working on Spielberg’s new film and I don’t want to listen to music or see films.’

But, how has he managed to avoid seeing it? It’s EVERYWHERE.

To make the irredeemable crime worse, Williams even revealed how he personally finds many of the pieces he wrote for Star Wars ‘not very memorable’.

Let’s just swallow that nugget of information while listening to The Imperial March, shall we?
